Sick and Tired

Watching the news the other evening, I happened to hear Bush's 'sick and tired' rant. What struck me even harder was the sheer bitterness, hatred and loss of control in his facial expression. It is consuming him. It reminded me of my mother going off into a tirade of insanity, the same loss of control that fuels a child's need to run away. None of us on earth can run from this.

'sick and tired' said he
through ferocious smug teeth
the parent
who dictates
and has no ears
his own orphaned children
forced to live in his fears
no money for healthcare
never knew how to feel
big-money-pockets
approved by his seal

star wars, the father
avenged by the son
bully of the schoolyard
everyone run!
the war he is fighting
contrived in his head
no smoking gun
to sleep in his bed

the madness of power
fuels limited reign
'sick and tired' said he
and who is insane?
no condom protection
for an oil whore's well
the choices are clear
comply or rebel
